Exploitation Archived Message Posted by Mary on January 15, 2021, 2:24 pm Can you imagine any of Tory crowd's offspring working for banks, estate agents, City outfits, etc, being treated like these student nurses? 'Coronavirus: Student nurses 'at risk' without insurance on placement "It's really scary. You don't know what you're going to face everyday," Lizzy tells Newsbeat. She's a student nurse and is on placement at the moment. Like many others working in a hospital right now, she's finding it tough. But the difference for Lizzy and other student nurses and midwives is they've not been getting paid. This means they don't have any insurance if they catch coronavirus either. "There's a lot of anxiety and stress for students working unpaid placements right now. Covid is worse than it's ever been, especially with the new strain," Lizzy says. "We should be paid, because without it we have no life insurance protection for death in service." Lizzy is one of a number of students Newsbeat has spoken to, who thinks they need better protection while on placement.' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-55659851 Message Thread: Exploitation - Mary January 15, 2021, 2:24 pm Re: Exploitation - Ed January 15, 2021, 5:56 pm   Searching
